The story
Toucan sur Mer is the seafood-focused sister restaurant to Toucan Brasserie, located just a few metres away on Avenue Louis Lepoutre in Ixelles, Brussels. Where its neighbour serves classic brasserie fare with bistronomic accents, Toucan sur Mer is built entirely around the treasures of the ocean.
The kitchen here works with the best Belgian and French suppliers, prioritising freshness and top-quality ingredients. The menu is a festival of tastes that puts fish and shellfish front and centre, prepared with notable skill. Standout offerings include the classic plateau de fruits de mer, whole grilled fish, and a selection of oysters — from Gillardeau and Fine de Claire to Belon and Zeelande varieties.
This commitment to sourcing is backed by long-standing partnerships with ethical, sustainable producers. Among them is Caviar Caspian Tradition, a Belgian house specialising in premium caviar, and Pure Vanilla, a certified organic and fair-trade producer from Madagascar.
The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, with outdoor seating available for warmer months and a valet parking service for convenience. Toucan sur Mer’s dedication to quality and technique has earned it a place in the Michelin guide, where it is listed as Recommended — a fitting recognition for an address that treats seafood with both respect and creativity.
